A Seabird SBE-21 (SN 2960) Conductivity Temperature sensor was mounted on
the R/V New Horizon. It accurately determines sea surface temperature
and conductivity from underway vessels. The sensor suite also
included a SeaTech Blue LED Fluorometer (F1011) and 20 cm SeaTech
transmissometer (SN 1026). These data were used to study 3-dimensional
physical, chemical and biological structure in upwelling ecosystems and
temporal variability driven by short term wind events.

Purpose: These data were collected for oceanographic research.
